The Parable of the Dragnet

47 "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet that was thrown into the sea and gathered [fish] of every kind,
48 which when it was filled they pulled to shore and sat down [and] collected the good [fish] into containers, but the bad they threw out.
49 Thus it will be at the end of the age. The angels will go out and separate the evil from among the righteous
50 and throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth!
51 "Have you understood all these [things]?" They said to him, "Yes."
52 And he said to them, "For this [reason] every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like the master of the house who brings out of his storeroom new [things] and old [things]."
